Ha! guess not. I need to meet up with some locals NYC/Westchester/NJ/CT area with my "new" 2009 OBXT. Where is everyone at?

Anyone local? come by and pick up this asap.

The parts are available for free. must come by and pick up all items - everything is in a large box ready to go. Thanks.

I have most of the original parts that were removed from my 2009 OBXT when various upgrades were performed over the years. I would like to sell these locally in the NYC area. If interested, please make any offer - I'd like to get everything out of my living room sooner rather than later! The car currently has about 69k miles - not sure of the mileage on any of the individual parts but they all have less than that. Local pick up only. - front strut/spring/top-mount assemblies - rear shock/spring/top-mount assemblies - swaybars front and rear - hood prop - factory roof rack cross bars - rear brake rotors/dust shields/calipers/lines - front brake calipers/lines - rear upper control arms - rear trailing link mount brackets - LGT rear bump stops - floor mats - steering wheel

I changed to a new set of tires, this time in a size better suited to the WRX wheels that are on the car, 225/45/17s. The 245/50/17s were awful with the huge sidewall. Also had the gear oil changed to motul, shifting is much smoother! Was thinking to change out the factory cat back exhaust for something that is more free flowing and a bit louder. But the air injection pump has been deleted and block-off plates were installed on the head. It's on a Cobb AccessPort v2 currently. What is involved in re-tuning it for an exhaust? Thanks!

thanks for the feedback, I think I will start by trying the Perrin dampener next. I just ditched the high profile 245/50/17 tires for a new set of 225/45/17s. These improve turn in quite a but, but the speedometer error is about 7% low and the wheel gap is now huge. Is there any other concerns with such a large reduction in diameter from the stock OEM size tires, 225/55/17? The car is on 17x7+55 2008 OEM WRX wheels with 12 mm hub centric front spacers. Apparently, the fenders were rolled to accommodate 255/45/18 tires on 18x8+45 wheels (+12 front spacers) with minor rubbing, flares were trimmed to fit over the rolled fenders. I was thinking of perhaps upsizing the wheels to 18" to better match the OEM overall diameter, sized something similar to what is shown in this tire size comparison. That way I could put winter tires on these 17s. Which stock or stock looking wheels and offset would work with the suspension mods on this car? Keeping 5x100.

Thanks for the welcome! I will need to spend time here learning from everyone's experiences. Below is a list of work done to the suspension. Let me know what you think of these mods. Suspension: Bilstein B6/HDs dampers for the Legacy Spec-B, FatCatMotorsports.com custom valving LGT Spec-B top mounts JDM LGT STi Spec-B Wagon pink springs (Front: 4k, Rear: 6k) 1" rear spacer w/ extended bolts LGT upper control arms in the rear (20250AE031 (right), 20250AE041 (left)) LGT brackets for the rear trailing arm (20540AE080 (right), 20540AE090 (left)) Whiteline Rear Camber Bushing [KCA399] Whiteline roll-center kit [KCA313] Whiteline front camber bolts Whiteline swaybars front and rear (front: BSF30Z 22mm adjustable, rear: BSR39 20mm adjustable) AVO rear swaybar mount brace STi front-LCA lower rear bushing Fenders were rolled to accommodate 255/45/18 tires on 18x8+45 wheels (+12 front spacers), flares were trimmed to fit over the rolled fenders 245/50ZR17 Continental ContiExtremeContact DWS06 Plus

Just added new continental dsw06+ changed all fluids, filters, etc. So far, my first impressions, The suspension mods make the car feel somewhat bouncy - also the steering input seems very vague on initial turn in. Granted I'm coming from Mazda, so my expectations my be out of line.

Hello 3rd gen Subaru outback members! Just picked up this 2009 OBXT with a bunch of mods on it, turbo, brakes suspension. Was a bit of an impulse buy but it is a manual wagon. And it's a turbo. Was looking for A4 Audis, 3 series rwb bmws, then saw this one and decided to go for it. The previous owner was very knowledgeable about the well thought out modifications, which hopefully translates into this being a reliable car for me!
